Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Ireland was one of five countries — along with the Netherlands, Iceland, Slovenia and Spain — to skip Eurovision this year to protest Israel's inclusion in the pan-continental music contest.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
RTÉ added that they also remain "deeply concerned by the continued denial of independent access to international journalists to the territory".
RTE said it would not take part in 2027 or broadcast the competition, which will be held in Bulgaria's Black Sea city of Burgas after they won for the first time in May.
'RTE feels that Ireland's participation cannot be justified given the appalling and ongoing loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there which continues to put the lives of so many civilians at risk,' the broadcaster said in a statement.
"AVROTROS will not participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2027 because the event can no longer be considered neutral, with a participating country still involved in a large-scale military conflict," it said.
